[PATCH 00/21][SRU][OEM-OSP1-B] iwlwifi: mvm: support HE context cmd API change

[You-Sheng Yang]

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1845138

[Impact]
When trying to associate with an 802.11ax Wi-Fi AP on platforms with
Intel AX1650s/AX1650i, iwlwifi gives a firmware error about command in
SYN CMD STA_HE_CTXT_CMD and hardware resets.

[Fix]
AX1650s/AX1650i firmware expects passed command struct to include
multiple bssid support when associating with 802.11ax APs, and the
implementation has been landed to v5.2 as:

  commit d14ae796f849: iwlwifi: mvm: support HE context cmd API change

This commit, along with its prerequisites in kernel mac80211/cfg80211
framework are neccesary to complete 802.11ax AP associations.

[Test Case]
Tested on AX1650s/AX1650i, as well as 9462/9560, to associate with
AX/N/AC/BG open/wpa AP.

[Regression Risk]
Medium. These patches introduces new features to mac80211/cfg80211
framework but are only enabled when IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_MULTI_BSSID
and/or IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_ONLY_HE_MULTI_BSSID are set. There is also
refactoring to information element access for cfg80211.

For the firmware part, this should only be enabled when firmware blobs
has explicitly declared IWL_UCODE_TLV_API_MBSSID_HE capability. And when
this capability is set, like fw for AX1650s/AX1650i, changes here are
necessary to make an association to 802.11ax Wi-Fi AP successfully.
